In a group of $400$ people, $160$ are smokers and non-vegetarian; $100$ are smokers and vegetarian and the remaining $140$ are non-smokers and vegetarian. Their chances of getting a particular chest disorder are $35%,20%$ and $10%$ respectively. A person is chosen from the group at random and is found to be suffering from the chest disorder. The probability that the selected person is a smoker and non-vegetarian is :

The probability distribution of random variable $X$ is given by: <table class="pyq-table"><tbody><tr><td>$X$</td><td>$1$</td><td>$2$</td><td>$3$</td><td>$4$</td><td>$5$</td></tr><tr><td>$P(X)$</td><td>$K$</td><td>$2K$</td><td>$2K$</td><td>$3K$</td><td>$K$</td></tr></tbody></table>Let $p=P(1<X<4\mid X<3)$. If $5p=\lambda K$, then $\lambda$ is equal to

If the mean and variance of six observations $7,10,11,15,a,b$ are $10$ and $\frac{20}{3},$ respectively, then the value of $|a-b|$ is equal to:
A fair die is tossed until six is obtained on it. Let $X$ be the number of required tosses, then the conditional probability $P(X\geqslant 5\mid X>2)$ is :
Two squares are chosen at random on a chessboard (see figure). The probability that they have a side in common is : 
Four dice are thrown simultaneously and the numbers shown on these dice are recorded in $2\times 2$ matrices. The probability that such formed matrices have all different entries and are non-singular, is:
Two dices are rolled. If both dices have six faces numbered $1,2,3,5,7$ and $11,$ then the probability that the sum of the numbers on the top faces is less than or equal to $8$ is:
A seven digit number is formed using digits $3,3,4,4,4,5,5$. The probability, that number so formed is divisible by $2$, is
An ordinary dice is rolled for a certain number of times. If the probability of getting an odd number $2$ times is equal to the probability of getting an even number $3$ times, then the probability of getting an odd number for odd number of times is:
The probability that two randomly selected subsets of the set ${1,2,3,4,5}$ have exactly two elements in their intersection, is:
When a missile is fired from a ship, the probability that it is intercepted is $\frac{1}{3}$ and the probability that the missile hits the target, given that it is not intercepted, is $\frac{3}{4}.$ If three missiles are fired independently from the ship, then the probability that all three hit the target, is:
